MAINTENANCE
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic system is a closed system with
oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check oil
level regularly with dipstick. Low oil levels can
damage the oil pump. Oil Level should mea-

surface of the oil tank. The oil should be com-
pletely changed once a year.
The oil tank has a capacity of 6 liters.
:: Make sure moving parts stops and the
log splitter is unplugged.
:: Make sure that no dirt or debris finds
its way into the oil tank
:: Collect used oil and recycle.
:: Following an oil change, activate the
log splitter a few times without
